Answer 1

Hearing loss happens from the intensity of the sound and the duration you are exposed to it.

Answer 2

If u vacuum like 10 times a day for 10 years maybe

Answer 3

they would probably give you tinnitus over a long period of time but I doubt it would cause you to go deaf

Answer 4

stop being a ***** no they won't make you deaf watching a movie at the theaters or going to a concert is worse than a vacuum cleaner. i'm sure you blast your music high on your ipod or computer

YES!! Especially if you're wearing earplugs!

If you listen to a really loud vacuum for a long period of time, it's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.
